Combustible facades weren't a result of developers!i’m no fan of setka, particularly the allegations about his treatment of females.
there is a reason why the construction union needs tough operators: you won’t get a bigger pack of dodgy peeps than you’ll find among developers. you don’t have to be familiar with the industry to know that. a day rarely passes without evidence of shoddy substandard buildings - both materials and labour.
the big issue of combustible facades still hasn't been resolved. the dodgy developers should be responsible for mine if it bankrupts them good riddance.
the union has been responsible for the excellent wages and conditions its members have and for making the industry much safer.
a weak union would allow the dodgy ruthless developers, who get away with too much now, to to run riot.
i look forward the the series on developers and the m.b.a
Developers just put pressure on builders to build for the lowest price.
Builders substituted materials, specified by consultants (Architect), to cheaper materials that would be signed off by the building surveyor.
Building surveyors shouldn't have allowed materials to be installed that were not tested (cheap Chinese alternatives mostly).
Building Surveyors should have been held responsible but it would have resulted in the collapse of the BS's due to court cases, bankruptcies and insurances going through the roof.
You seem to have a particular problem with developers.
Unions do not deel with developers directly.
Developers deal with builders and builders deal with unions.
Consultants make sure building codes are adheared to.
Builders and Unions make sure productivity and safety ok.
